Yes, until when? I met Sipadan “fans” who were coming there for the third time in ten years. As they compared, they found that the site was degrading, much less sharks, damaged corals and less amount of fish in general.
But I also read A. Leydet's article on poaching in Polynesia, obviously, it's almost the same everywhere. I am becoming pessimistic.
